Campaign Monitor is a "100% Rebrandable email marketing software just for designers". The man himself, Jesse Bennett-Chamberlain, has designed the new site, which I must admit is an instant favorite. All the graphics are great, the layout is very clean, and it is superbly easy to navigate. Jesse is not reinventing the wheel, but instead going for perfection. And he succeeds with style.

If you're wondering what this service does, Syncplicity makes sure you always have the files you need at your fingertips, anytime, anywhere. I'm a devoted SugarSync user myself, but I like this site design. It's pretty straightforward, but the colors work wonders and I like the way they've implemented the individual page headers/navigation "ribbons" (not sure what to call it). The "Tour" is also a good example to follow.

Here's a site in Norwegian only to showcase the beta CMS Apilot from Funkpilot and Rocking Chair. Those clouds, that rocket and the overall colours are priceless.

Not really a full-fledged site. Merely a holding page teasing us with a new desktop app for web designers. Still, Clearleft decides to throw in some extraordinary alpha png details that make this tiny site a one of a kind that deserves some attention. Try resizing the browser window, and you'll see what I'm talking about. That sweet Gorilla comes courtesy of Jon Hicks. Via SimpleBits.

Image editing for the rest of us. Well not for me, as I'm not a Mac-user. This site is close to perfection on a couple of levels. First of all, it shows us the right way to sell a product; in a clean and delicate wrapping (i.e. site). Beautiful icons and subtle, dark colors combined with striking imagery and a few strong colors. It also takes the style of Mac-related sites (I think you know what I mean by this) to their own place with delicious darkness. The way they present this software makes me really want to try it out, and I think it has a lot to do with the graphics, not the features of the program.

While Apple's hardware has been looking sweeter and sweeter with each year passing, the company's online presence has become more and more stale over the past few years. This week they finally decided to give the site a major overhaul. And what a redesign it is. Making use of slick javascript effects all over, including on a site search that surpasses anything I've ever seen anywhere, period, this site is a marvel of web design/development.

After a period in hiatus, MacThemes is back with a brand new 2.0. The new site is similar but different. There has been given more attention to details, the bugs are gone and it seems to run quite a bit faster as well (if my memory serves me right, the speed change is quite significant). I love the new ruler over the top navigation. Beautiful transparency. This site is also a great source of inspiration through the themes listed there.

Microsoft's promotional site for their new Forefront security software left me with mixed feelings. First the bad. I couldn't really figure out what Forefront is without spending a little bit too much time on this site. Maybe I'm dumb, but I found it hard to grasp what this product really was. Then the good. I love the bold colors. There is tons of humor throughout the site. The use of video, audio and animations is great. Zombies. Nuff said. Via DesignCharts.

My guess is that a lot of you will be surprised by this one, and wonder why it's here. Following the trend of listing Zopa, I also decided to list this corporate boring site here on Styleboost. The reason I'm listing the Lavasoft site, and not some flashy portfolio site, is because this one stands out. It's unusual, glossy and good looking. It seems kind of well structured as well. If you look at other sites in the security, anti-virus and spyware removal business, the Lavasoft site is king. Their latest xhtml/css makeover does wonders for the company, I would imagine. If not, at least the gloss sure is shiny.

Shaun Inman has redesigned his website. The makeover takes the site to a whole new level with a great quick access navigation area. Shaun definitely is a master in his field, or should I say wizard? His standards compliant work shows how Flash is totally needless these days.
